Abstract
Paging data is used to manage address space working set size, system multiprogramming level, and job mix, to improve system productive CPU utilization. System paging characteristics are monitored to determine when to perform management functions. When needed, address space paging data is collected for monitored address spaces, and target working set sizes set for managed address spaces. If necessary, address spaces are 'forced' to exhibit characteristic paging patterns. Reallocation of working set pages among active address spaces, and swap in-swap out actions, are assessed, and impacts on productive CPU utilization is estimated.
